The goal is to try old favorites, find your next new favorite beer/brewery, try new styles...maybe outside your comfort zone and not be worried about your drink tickets. There's great Entertainment each night, led by everyone's favorite party band THE TURKEYS, and some crazy stuff like a Silent Disco, a full size Karaoke Bar, a German BierGarten, Ice Cream Stout Floats, and much much more! All proceeds benefit the Big Joe Duskin Music Education Foundation. Last year alone, Beerfest proceeds enabled over 50 elementary and junior high schools (most with underfunded music departments) to have professional blues and jazz bands perform for them and lead educational presentations about Teamwork, Accepting Diversity, and Work Ethic...that playing a musical instrument can bring.VIP & CONNOISSUERS: Gates:6:30pm REGULAR TICKETS: Gates: 7:30pm FEST ENDS: 11pmHyatt Regency Cincinnati hotel packages (including discounted tickets) are available from our website.
